R34 25gt Coupe Suspensions

[theponyremark]

Hi,

I have been told by a number of SAU members that R33 GTS-T suspensions are a direct fitment to R34 25GT Coupe. So I went ahead earlier on in the week to purchase a set of R33 GTS-T suspensions (see attached).

However, after reading around, I am having my doubts that I have just wasted $200.00. Could someone please explain to me what I need to buy?

I also thought that the R33 GTS-T were a straight fit for the R34 GT coupe

But I was recently told that the R33 GTS-T suspensions fronts will fit R32/R33 and rear will fit S14/S15

Hmm.. Could someone shed some light on this? About to get some coil overs soon, just want to make sure before I buy them

I was told that R33 GTS-T fronts will fit R34 N/A but the rears won't... after being told they are a direct fitment by numerous SAU users. To make life more difficult, no Japanese Import Mechanics I have tried stock any shocks/struts readily available to fit without some sort of overpriced deposit and a weeks worth of waiting.

well both R33 GTSTs and R34 25GTs have the eyelet configuration on both front and rear struts, in theory they are exactly the same, perhaps you should take them to your nearest suspension/steering mechanic to try fit them?

the shocks and springs you have posted up there are identical to the ones found in both R33 GTSTs and R34 25GTs, the only thing i can think that could be different would be the spring rates

all the best with it, hope it works out

Really? I was laughed at by a wrecker asking him whther they were compatible with R34. Well I would go but they'd charge me for attempting to put them on...

My understanding is they are the same as well. Its only the R34 GTT's that have the different lower joint on the rear suspension.

Jump under your car and have a quick look to confirm.

Then go back and laugh at the wrecker...

I had a look under my car, it seems to be the same as those I purchased (pictured in OP). I hope they're the right ones... really edging to get them installed ASAP once received

Guys, just to let you know I had these put in removing the springs shown with my Pedder low rider's.

R33 GTS-T front and rear are indeed, direct fitment on any R34 GT's.
